This release by Nangdo, a producer from the Netherlands on Planet Terror makes me smile, intense soul, groovy tunes. Matches sometimes the moods of JDilla tracks… Highly recommended download… Don’t forget to donate if you like those tracks…

Deep Spacetech Muzak Conceptions

Awesome. Sometimes there are those tracks you can dance to and hanging out at the same time. “Confident enough not to hide behind a monster kick drum.” (Morgan, i love this quote!) And here that magic happens… Thanks to Mr. Chris Kelly aka Federsen! Bingo! Chapeau! Essential download! 11,5/12

Electroacoustic Pop-pearls from Colombia

This will definitely be the right choice for your digital (or even analog) campfire! This new one from Lucrecia on Series Media is about acoustic instruments, found sounds, crispy percussion and Lucrecia’s wonderful vocals with an ease of ‘those who know more’.

Groovy attempt

To call “Sandstorms,”Christian Prommer’s cover of the Carl Craig classic, ominous would be an understatement. A droning organ sound is the first and last thing heard in the nine-minute piece, and not once does it let up. Instead, elements are layered atop the pulsing drawl; pattering drums and percussion, subtle yet funky bass riffs, and all sorts of analog weirdness bubble to the surface. It’s a little difficult at first to draw a direct line between Craig’s original and this reinterpretation, primarily because the new version is made almost completely of live instruments and focuses more on atmosphere than groove, but that’s how it fits so well onto the second installment of Prommer’s project, a collection of jazz-influenced covers of electronic music icons called Drumlesson Zwei.
